Fans and collectors still talk about how the dub version gave each track a new life, letting the instrumental work shine on its own. This dub cut remains an important part of reggae history, showing how classic sounds can blend with fresh ideas. The original Cheers Riddim featured a group of talented artists. Bugle delivered the song "Choke," bringing his thoughtful lyrics and unique voice. Kranium added his smooth style on "No Commoners," while Versatile’s "Sip N Puff" stood out for its catchy flow. East contributed "Hustler Reverence," a track that celebrated hard work and determination. Jahazeil Myrie’s "Clear The Way" brought a roots feeling, connecting the riddim to reggae’s long tradition. The music arranger played a key role in shaping the sound of the riddim. Each song was carefully crafted to fit the instrumental, allowing the artists to express their own styles while still keeping a unified vibe. This careful arrangement is part of what makes the Cheers Riddim so memorable. MARKUS RECORDS produced the project.
